The Islamic Burial Society (IBS) was born out of the needs Muslims in TheNetherlands felt concerning Islamic burial customs. The IBS’s maindirective is to ensure eternal rest for the dearly departed/deceased. Inaddition, the IBS is currently negotiating with local authorities torealise the founding of one or more dedicated Islamic burial sites in TheNetherlands.

The IBS has also set itself the goals of promoting the transfer ofknowledge concerning Islamic burial traditions and customs, promotingjurisprudence with regard to Islamic burial laws and the founding of aBody of Islamic Undertakers.

The IBS realises that a part of the target group wishes to be interred intheir homeland / land of origin. The IBS acknowledges this and is lobbyingfor faster repatriation of deceased Muslims their country of origin.
